“Super hulbot”, a banned fishing method due to its destructive nature, persists in northern Iloilo. Two fishing boats with more or less 40 crew members engaged in super hulbot were apprehended by the Iloilo Provincial Bantay Dagat Task Force (IPBDTF) recently in Barangay Asluman, Gigantes Island, Carles town. While conducting seaborne patrol in Carles on June 15, the taskforce caught F/B Jot-6 and F/B Genesis in the act, according to Police Staff Sergeant Renatito Gadian Jr., IPBDTF leader.
